Stonework and brick dry ice blasting
Specialist automotive dry ice blasting
Ice blasting is perfect for stone and brickwork where care and precision are needed.
Aggressive methods risk erosion, patchy finishes, and water pushed into pores.
Dry ice blasting is a controlled, non-abrasive way to clean and restore stonework and brickwork.
It removes contamination without water, harsh chemicals, or abrasive media –
helping protect surface detail and the natural character of the material.
Why dry ice blasting works for stone and brick
- Non-abrasive cleaning that helps protect surface detail
- Moisture-free process – no soaking and no slurry
- No chemical residue left behind
- No secondary waste – the dry ice turns to gas on impact
- Suitable for sensitive sites, including occupied buildings
- Helps reduce clean-up time and disruption
Fully mobile service across the UK
We bring specialist equipment to your site so you avoid dismantling, removal, or transport. We work on:
Homes and residential projects
Commercial buildings and public spaces
Industrial sites and boundary structures
Heritage and conservation settings
Equipment matched to the surface
Every stone and brick surface behaves differently. We match pressure, pellet size and nozzle choice to the substrate and the contamination, so we clean effectively while protecting the surface.
Self-sufficient setup – work anywhere
We work on occupied buildings, scaffolded areas, confined spaces, and outdoor sites. We bring everything needed, including power solutions where required, so we operate independently in remote, urban, or sensitive locations.
Stone and brick applications
Dry ice blasting is particularly effective on stone due to its non-abrasive action and moisture-free process. The dry ice sublimates on impact, lifting contamination without driving it into the stone’s pores.
Historic and heritage stone
We support careful cleaning where you want to protect detail, patina and carved features, and avoid aggressive abrasion.
Brick and masonry
We remove grime, deposits and surface contamination while keeping the process dry and controlled.
Fire and smoke damage on stone & brick
We lift soot and smoke residue without water, which helps you avoid spreading staining deeper into porous surfaces.
Stone features and architectural elements
We clean pillars, lintels, decorative stonework, plaques and trims with precision.
Industrial and commercial stonework
We remove heavier contamination on walls, structures and external surfaces where build-up affects appearance and upkeep.
Suitable for sensitive and occupied properties
Dry ice blasting creates no slurry and no sand-like waste. That makes it well suited to public buildings, live environments and occupied properties where you want a cleaner process and simpler tidy-up.

FAQs
Will dry ice blasting damage stone or brick?
No. We set the system to suit the surface, so we remove contamination while protecting the stone or brick from abrasive wear.
Does dry ice blasting use water?
No. The process stays dry, which helps protect porous materials and cuts the risk of moisture-related staining.
Will it leave any residue behind?
No. The dry ice turns to gas on impact, so you won’t deal with slurry, wastewater, or leftover blasting media.
Is this suitable for listed or heritage buildings?
Yes. The non-abrasive, moisture-free process suits sensitive substrates where you need a careful, controlled clean.
Will you work on occupied buildings?
Yes. Dry ice blasting creates minimal mess compared to wet or abrasive methods, which suits public buildings and occupied sites.
What types of contamination do you remove?
We remove general grime, deposits, soot and smoke residue, and heavier surface build-up depending on the substrate and access.
Do you cover the whole UK?
Yes. We work nationwide on projects of all sizes.
What do you need to quote the job?
Site location, photos of the surface and contamination, access details (such as scaffold), and your timing window for the work.
